Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
"Farewell My Concubine" tells a sad and tragic story through the life experiences and emotional entanglements of Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou, two brothers who played the Peking Opera. It cleverly combines literary fiction with Chinese quintessence classics, individual destiny and the changes of the times. It is tortuous, moving, gorgeous and poetic, and is very tense and thought-provoking to read.
The novel was adapted into a movie by Chen Kaige, starring Leslie Cheung, Zhang Fengyi, Gong Li, and Ge You. It won many domestic and international awards including the Golden Globe Award and the Palme d'Or, and was nominated for multiple Academy Awards including Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography, and received high evaluation and praise.
You have heard a lot of stories about emperors, generals, talented men and beautiful women.
All those love, affection, and sweetness are indescribably beautiful.
It's not a human color at all.
The world is just a face wiped clean of makeup.
Just these two faces.
He is Yu Ji, and his opposite number is naturally Overlord.
The king has lost his spirit, what is the point of my humble concubine's life?
But this is just a play. After all, they are not dead.
...It's really hard to explain in detail from the beginning.
About the Author · · · · · ·
Li Bihua was born and raised in Hong Kong. She has worked as a journalist, TV screenwriter, film screenwriter and dance drama planner. She has written columns and novels for best-selling newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, and has published more than 100 books, as well as translated into many countries. Her novels Rouge, Farewell My Concubine, Green Snake, Terracotta Warriors, The Past and Present Life of Pan Jinlian, Yoshiko Kawashima, The Tempted Monk, and Dumplings have been adapted into movies and received wide acclaim. Although she has won numerous awards, they are like spilled water. I only hope that the best works have not yet been written.
Li Bihua's works are imaginative and create a unique style with the subtle relationship between "crazy men and resentful women, joys and sorrows, separations and reunions" and fate, and strange and bizarre themes.
In 2008, the famous Japanese director Yukio Ninagawa directed the stage play Farewell My Concubine, which toured and received unprecedented response. In 2010 and 2011, Bridge of Life and Death, which is about life and death, love and hate, and Beijing and Shanghai, and Terracotta Warriors, which is about the eternal love after reincarnation, were successively adapted into CCTV dramas, with extremely high ratings.
Li Bihua learned Chinese dance for ten years when she was young. She took classes at the Ivy League Contemporary Dance Company in New York. She was the planner of the large-scale dance dramas "Searching for Gods", "Female Beauty", "Rouge Button" (by Teacher Shu Qiao), and "Seducing Monks" of the "Hong Kong Dance Company". In 2011 and 2012, the Shanxi Huajin Dance Troupe's "Powder and Ink Spring and Autumn" was adapted from her original work, and she wrote the script, Xing Shimiao directed it, and Huang Doudou and Wang Di danced the main dancers. It toured the country and the world. The stage play "GREEN SNAKE" is a collaboration between Li Bihua and the China National Theatre. In 2013 and 2014, it participated in more than ten art festivals around the world.
His ghost novels are very popular among readers. The series was adapted into the movies "Twilight Night" and "Fantasy Night". "Revitalizing Hong Kong films and fighting out of the underworld" is the common wish of his collaborators on and off the stage.
Li Bihua believes that the pursuit of life is nothing more than "freedom" and "happiness". She keeps a low profile and lives a carefree life.
